President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Türkiye is steadily moving towards its Century of Türkiye vision, which aims to elevate the country above contemporary civilisations, adding that the government is further strengthening national unity and resilience through new initiatives.
“We are undertaking a major mobilisation for progress in every field,” Erdogan said on Tuesday during a commemoration ceremony held at the Ataturk Supreme Council for Culture, Language and History, marking the 88th anniversary of the death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye.
He noted that significant progress had been made towards resolving the issue of terrorism, which he described as having held Türkiye back for nearly half a century.
“We are strengthening peace, security and stability not only within our borders but also beyond them. We are further reinforcing our domestic front through new initiatives, as it remains our strongest stronghold against internal and external attacks,” he said.
Despite the surrounding belt of instability and conflict, Erdogan underlined that Türkiye was moving toward a shared future in solidarity between the state and the nation.
He added that the government would not stop or falter until it had taken the country to a much stronger position through new victories and achievements, making full use of all available resources.
Concluding his remarks, Erdogan commemorated the 88th anniversary of the passing of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, and paid tribute to fallen soldiers and veterans.
